  • ⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ⅓ cup white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 T. Creole seasoning
  • 1 t. black pepper
  • 1 T. honey
  • 2 dozen jumbo shrimp, peeled, tail left on

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, bring the first 6 ingredients to a boil.
  • Turn the heat to low and stir in the honey. Once honey is incoporated, add the shrimp and the lemon slices and cover. Cook about 7 minutes or until the shrimp are uniformly pink.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and lemon slices to serving bowls. Add the cold butter a couple of cubes at a time, whisking constantly while each addition of butter melts. This emulsifies the sauce.
